What's stopping space probe communication to be jammed?

Space probes use radio waves to communicate back to Earth - I would imagine a probe sent many decades ago, using very little energy and from very far away would be sending an incredibly weak signal back to Earth.

Just wondering, wouldn't it be easy for anyone on Earth to broadcast a signal in the same frequency and jam the probe signal (whether unintentionally or with intent).
